Abstract

A CPU 102, in a state in which multiple windows are being displayed in a display 107, when execution of a program is newly instructed, judges whether or not it is possible to display a window of the program that has been instructed to be executed without overlapping windows that are already being displayed. The CPU 102, when the window to be newly displayed will overlap a window that is already being displayed, minimizes the window with the largest size among the windows that are already being displayed to perform display, and displays the window of the program instructed to be executed in a display 107.
